Standoffs
Permanent and Optional Standoffs
Standoffs prevent short circuits by creating space between the motherboard and the
chassis floor. The SC118G chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations used
by most motherboards. These standoffs accept the rounded Phillips head screws
included in the SC118G accessories packaging.
Some motherboard require additional screws for heatsinks, general components
and/or non-standard security. Optional standoffs are included to accomodate these
motherboards.
To use an optional standoff, you must place the hexagonal screw through the bot-
tom of the chassis and secure the screw with the hexagon nut (rounded side up).
Compare the mounting holes in the motherboard with those in the chassis and then
add or remove the standoffs as needed.
